8x8 page

I started with the Offset Opposites Scheme - a 6x6 Brown CS and 2 3x3 Rustic Chic papers.

I layered that 6x6 page to an 8x8 Kraft page. My photo is a 4x6 and I trimmed off about 1/2 inch from one side. On the 8x8 page I stamped Twists and Twirls with Versamark ink in 2 corners. I love the Office Notes stamp set for "little" journaling prompts. I punched out the File Tab punch from Ivory CS and folded it over the edge of the 6x6 page and stapled it on. Then I wrote my journaling with the American Crafts red journaling pen.

Scheme 9 - Two Corners

Scheme 9 is an alteration of Scheme 5 - Four corners. You just leave off 2 of the corner pieces.
Having the one side of your page empty allows you to use a larger picture there - or even just a longer picture!
The left page use the Two Corners Scheme - Allowing me to keep my photo 5 inches long. I did crop it to 2 3/4 wide though to fit in and allow for the border to continue around the picture.

Scheme 6 - Offset Opposites

Our 6th Scheme uses either a patern or solid 6x6 and 2 coordinating 3x3 squares. It will also allow you to use a larger picture as your focus on the center of the page.
The right side pages uses this Scheme:

See how I used a full size 3 1/2 x 5 picture as the focus? These pictures are from 15 years ago - and that was the size of the time - now you can't order prints that size!
